A powerful sign
Stepan Vojtech, who also achieved an outstanding result at the super stage, is equally self-confident. The OMV BIXXOL Rally Team CZ reached second place in the P-Car WRC-ranking. OMV driver Vojtech: “That boosts our self-confidence. We have proven that one has to reckon with us. It is very satisfying when the feeling and the result coincide. We are on a roll and have to take advantage of this opportunity. Last year the Rally Argentina threw us off. This year we shall overcome. “
Eight special stages on Friday
Following the excursion to Buenos Aires the rally will only restart on Friday at 9:00 (local time). Eight special stages and 124,50 special stage kilometres are scheduled. The first leg will be rounded off by a super stage in the stadium of Cordoba (19:05 Uhr), which, as opposed to the opening, will be completed on gravel. The finish line of the first leg will be crossed at circa 19:45.
